Kelly Tracey, the shelter’s supervisor, said it received 20 dogs after the quake. Eighteen of those dogs have already been reunited with their owners, but two dogs, including a small brown Chihuahua, are still waiting to be picked up.

The animals most affected by the quake, however, were cats.

“Cats are extremely sensitive to earthquakes,” Tracey said. “They’re just so frightened, especially with the aftershocks, the helicopters — all the commotion after the earthquake.”

The shelter has taken reports of around 80 lost cats and, as things start to calm down in Napa, some cats that hunkered down in closets, under porches and in other quiet places are starting to climb out.
